First Aid Responder careers

A First Aid Responder provides immediate medical assistance to individuals suffering from injury or illness. You might work at public events, worksites or community organisations. First Aid Responders focus on stabilising patients and administering basic life support until professional help arrives. You’ll assess scene safety, manage wounds and maintain emergency equipment to ensure high standards of care.

First Aid Responders play a vital role in ensuring public safety. You’ll need to be composed and decisive and be able to interact compassionately with people in distress. You’ll liaise with paramedics and healthcare professionals to ensure a seamless transition of care for those requiring further treatment.
